This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a series of officially licensed, limited-edition bobbleheads commemorating the Connecticut Huskies’ 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship and Back-to-Back National Championships. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Connecticut.
- The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in September, are now available at this link for $45 each plus an $8 flat-rate shipping charge per order.
- The bobblehead features UConn’s mascot, Jonathan the Husky, standing on a grass textured base in front of the new highway sign commemorating all of UConn’s National Championships–11 Women’s Basketball, 6 Men’s Basketball, 5 Field Hockey and 3 Men’s Soccer. The newest sign was installed this week following UConn’s 2024 Men’s Basketball National Championship earlier this month. Each bobblehead will come with a sticker pack that fans can use to update the sign as UConn wins additional titles.
- Each bobblehead will be individually numbered to only 2,024.
- On Monday, April 8th, the Connecticut Huskies defended their title in the NCAA Tournament by pulling away from Purdue for a 75-60 victory before a crowd of 74,423 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. In winning its sixth national title since 1999, UConn finished with a record of 37-3 and became the first team to capture back-to-back championships since Florida in 2006 and 2007. The Huskies did so in dominant fashion, winning each of their six NCAA tourney games by at least 14 points. Senior guard Tristen Newton, named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player, led the way with 20 points and seven assists. Stephon Castle (15), Donovan Clingan (11) and Cam Spencer (11) also scored in double figures. “You can’t even wrap your mind around it because you know how hard this tournament is,” sixth-year UConn coach Dan Hurley said after the game. “What a special group of people – a special coaching staff and an incredible group of players, the best group of players that you could possibly do it with. UConn is a special place this time of year and they give us all the resources we need to do it like this in March and April.”
- “The highway sign commemorating UConn’s 25 National Championships and counting reminds the millions of people who pass by about UConn’s storied history of titles,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We’re excited to be unveiling one of the most unique bobbleheads that will be a must-have for alumni, students, faculty, staff, and fans of the Huskies!”
- The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located at 170 S. 1st. St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened to the public on February 1st, 2019. The HOF and Museum also produces high quality, customized bobbleheads for retail sale as well as organizations, individuals, and teams across the country.
